Anyone in to this? I'm not! First thought I had when first learning of this so-called investment was "Ponzi scheme!"

It is, nonetheless, interesting. As shown in this informative video:

Math-types probably love this kind of stuff!
Fox News really likes Bitcoins.
http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/...bitcoin-trust/
You mean John Stossel, a Libertarian, likes Bitcoins. And he gives his reasons why in that article. And, it is true, it does represent a way to conduct economic transactions outside the control of governments. Given how screwed up governments are, that is a plus for Bitcoins.
But, you said "Fox News" really likes them. I understand your confusion. Being the libtard you are, you are used to marching to the beat of the lamestream media. In lock step. Goose stepping, like a good NAZI. Well...sorry. John Stossel is merely employed by Fox and is free to express whatever opinions he wishes. And, as mentioned, he is also a dyed-in-the-wool Libertarian. Most viewers/supporters of Fox are conservatives. And why we, conservatives, share some kindred spirit with our brother Libertarians, i.e., we prefer a smaller government, we are most definitely NOT libertarian.
On the subject of Bitcoins, however. I have to hasten to add I have no personal issue with the concept. People are free...or should be free....to engage in commerce using whatever means they see fit. But, there are too many potential pitfalls for me to jump into the fray. The video shows how it works, and also how it can be abused. Beyond that, to have ANY value, people must have faith that the Bitcoin they receive in a transaction will maintain its value so they too can exchange it for goods/services. And therein is the rub, as far as I'm concerned.
It may have collapsed already, given what has happened with the Mt Gox Exchange. If not, it could at any time. Not "stable" enough for me, and I guess, most other folks.
After reading the above rant, I cannot determine what or who you hate the most-Fox News, John Stossel, Bitcoins, the government, the media, Libertarians, or me!Originally Posted by dawg80
Well then, let me sort it out for you:After reading the above rant, I cannot determine what or who you hate the most-Fox News, John Stossel, Bitcoins, the government, the media, Libertarians, or me!
hate the most: liberals, the government, the media (lamestream), and you.
Clear enough?
Clear as mud being as you didn't mention John Stossel who wrote the article that triggered your rant.
I don't hate John Stossel. Actually, "hate" is too strong a word to use anyway. Don't like that term. Let's say a "strong difference of opinion" with the media, libtards, etc...Clear as mud being as you didn't mention John Stossel who wrote the article that triggered your rant.
Furthermore, you are the confused one. YOU introduced the article written by Stossel and then tried to make the connection that ALL of Fox News must agree with Stossel on the bitcoin issue. That is not true. In fact, Stuart Varney who is a financial analyst for Fox is on record as having reservations about bitcoins, and the hosts of Fox & Friends also expressed doubts about it and stated they would not be buying any 'coins anytime soon. So, clearly, you have been called out on painting Fox News with a broad brush. You are dead wrong about it. And in fact, I question if you even watch Fox, since you made such a fundamental error on this issue.

Way to try and change topics off of the massive number of Hillary and Obama scandals as well as the latest evil "Planned non-Parenthood" and Iran Nuke scandal. It won't work "fan of another school".
Your constant posting of Hillary, Obama, Iran, and Planned Parenthood shows that the GOP doesn't offer any substantive plan for governing our country.
Sure they do, eliminate ObamaCare, Planned Parenthood, Iranian nuke deal, taxes, enabling the Welfare state, stupid arse global warming policies, the prying and lying IRS, the biased race card pulling and race baiting comments and policies that harm all Americans,Your constant posting of Hillary, Obama, Iran, and Planned Parenthood shows that the GOP doesn't offer any substantive plan for governing our country.
democrats constant defunding and downsizing of our military, cowing to the muslims, apologizing for America, lying to the American taxpayers etc, etc, etc,
Your constant posting of Hillary, Obama, Iran, and Planned Parenthood shows that the GOP doesn't offer any substantive plan for governing our country.Thanks! Your drivel proves my point exactly-the GOP has nothing to offer other than being the party of NO.
